Fine and elegant, this very aromatic wine is produced with Glera grapes grown in the vineyards of Guia, a locality located in that hilly ridge which represents the cradle of Prosecco in Italy. The landscape is among the most evocative with the rows of vines that run along the steep slopes without interruption. The land in these parts is shallow and with low water resources. The climate is mild, but affected by strong temperature variations. It is an ideal terroir for Glera, a vine with unknown origins but already known in Roman times. The soil and climatic conditions, in fact, do nothing but increase the sugar content of the berries and their aromatic charge, accentuating the characteristic acid point of the wine. The Marsura family skilfully interprets these characteristics and, in order to fully respect the varietal characteristics and natural inclinations of the grapes, raises the bunches exclusively by hand. The Charmat Method, with the second fermentation and refermentation in an autoclave, is the most suitable modus operandi to enhance the freshness of the "Rive di Guia" Prosecco Superiore Extra Brut Valdobbiadene DOCG. After pressing, the grapes undergo white vinification in large steel tanks before making the sparkling wine. This sparkling wine is a good aperitif glass, suitable for informal occasions and impromptu toasts. The fine and persistent perlage envelops the palate. The sense of smell is delighted by an elegant and refined perfume, where the notes of the apple emerge powerfully. The sip is inviting and has a good structure. Ideal with finger food and appetizers.
